From nightmares to insomnia to sleep apnea, one out of every three people suffers from a sleep disorder. Having a sleep disorder may sound tiring, but few know that it can be life-threatening. For example, sleep apnea, the stopping of breathing while asleep, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
United Hospital is prepared to help you with your sleep disorder. Our Sleep Center uses sophisticated sleep disorder diagnostic tools and expert sleep consultations to identify and treat sleep problems.
If you or someone you love has a sleep disorder you should talk to your health care provider. Symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, gasping for air, nightmares and waking up frequently.
The Sleep Center is located in the John Nasseff Medical Center, 225 North Smith Ave., St. Paul, on the United Hospital Campus. For more information about the Sleep Center at United Hospital, please call 651-241-5454.
